That’s my six-word story for today. What’s yours? My meeting with the aforementioned dominatrix—and why getting coffee with her and talking about how she might tell her story is exactly why I love being a part of SMITH—is recounted in this interview I did in the trendspotting site StyleStation.

Thanks to StyleStation’s Jinal Shah who had a long chat with me for her piece (and managed to make me sound calmer and more cogent than I am). Bonus thanks goes out to the tech-spotting genius who answers to the name Angela Gunn. She gives the Six-Word Memoir Contest props in her USA Today column here.
